Disposing of an old fridge in Singapore isn’t as simple as dragging it to the lift lobby and hoping the town council will collect it. Fridges are bulky, heavy, and contain hazardous refrigerants that can harm the environment if not handled properly. On top of that, illegal dumping can result in fines of up to $10,000.
So, what’s the safest, fastest, and most affordable way to dispose of a fridge in Singapore? At Junk Value Recycling, we’ve helped thousands of households and businesses clear bulky appliances legally and responsibly. Here’s everything you need to know about fridge disposal, including costs, rules, and solutions.
Unlike chairs, tables, or wardrobes, a fridge requires special handling. That’s because:
Hazardous refrigerants inside compressors must be safely removed.
Size and weight make it challenging to move without professional help.
Restricted disposal points mean you cannot simply leave a fridge at HDB void decks, corridors, or bin centres.
This is why many Singaporeans turn to licensed junk removal companies like Junk Value Recycling to handle their fridge disposal.
When your fridge stops working or you’re upgrading to a new model, you typically have three main disposal choices:
If you buy a new fridge, some retailers will collect your old one. However:
It’s usually limited to “one-for-one” exchange.
Some retailers only take fridges if they are similar in size.
Collection may take days or weeks, depending on delivery schedules.
HDB town councils offer bulky item collection, but fridges are usually not accepted because of the hazardous materials inside. This means you’ll likely need a private disposal service.
This is the most convenient and reliable method. At Junk Value Recycling, we:
Provide same-day or next-day pickups.
Safely remove your fridge from HDBs, condos, and offices.
Handle disposal legally and eco-consciously.
Offer transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees.
The cost of fridge disposal varies depending on:
Size of fridge (single-door, double-door, side-by-side)
Access difficulty (stairs, narrow corridors, lifts)
Urgency of collection (same-day vs scheduled)
Additional bulky items included in the pickup
On average, fridge disposal in Singapore ranges from $60 to $120.
